It was opposite for me.2ML was an out and out creep who had zero respect for the FL. He turned her into a retarded…
Compared to what the SML did to FL, SFL comes across as an angel.
SFL does push a bit but when I say crossing a boundary, I meant the molestation that SML does to FL repeatedly or the actual physical and emotional hurt that SML piled on FL. Let's not forget SML never tries to harm ML or FL. In fact where ever she could, she helped them when it comes to important things.
get the point about being in love first or seeing some one first is moot when it comes to love. Just felt that the SFL was a much better match to ML than the retarded FL.
I just don't get why all these supposedly successful, handsome, rich and smart men in Cdramas fall for dumb girls. It's a repeated trope in each and every drama.
That's because almost every Cdrama has the same ML and FL, especially the ones where romance & family is in spot-light. There are exceptions but that's like 1 in 10, rest 9 have basically the same "type" ML and FL.
Got to give it though, Cdramas do fantasy and Wuxia exceptionally well. May be that's because the plot is not romance/family.
If you want to analyze further, take 10 Cdrama romances this year and check out the ML and FL. More often than not, they are feel the same. Admit again, there are few that are really good but they are very rare.
ML is written so well. Unlike Cdrama ML who come across as gods, this guy is vulnerable, kind and not unreasonable. FL is adorable but acts more like an 18 year old than her age. At her age she should be more mature. That's minor nitpick, the actress is adorable and the character is so lovable.
The kids are killing it.
So many weird and loud characters, Over the top acting by the old ladies, SFL is crazy & the actress is pretty good portraying her.
Second pair is cute and the ML sister is a show stealer.
Korean do Romance and family drama's much better than Chinese. The characters are much more rooted to reality. The girls in Korean dramas come across more intelligent and strong when compared to Cdramas.
wow, towards end of the drama, FL becomes so unlikable.
There were so many things that were disturbing about the FL towards the end of the drama. Worse, she does not even say sorry for the crap she pulled & they just get back together.
But then all Cdrama ML's are cuckolds and have no backbone, This ML though is bit better in that he at least got angry at the crap she pulled with him.
But yeah, FL starts crappily and ends crappily. She did have tremendous growth in middle of drama. All that went to waste towards the end.
It's a bit similar to ten miles of peach blossoms, are these two shows related?
Not even close,
ALP is primarily romance & the FL is much better portrayed & ML who also forms the core of the story.
Peach blossoms is NOT a romance story. Oh it has romance but that's not the central part of the story & the FL is not that into ML through out the drama. She does her own things and has her own story. In fact if you take out the ML from that drama, nothing really changes. The FL central goal of reviving her master still remains & forms the core of the drama.
It's funny how people compare ALP and peach blossoms when the latter has ML disappearing for episodes at a time. At best ML is a support character to the main lead who is the FL.
I wanted to tell you guys a little something personal; why SML made my skin crawl more then most here. I had 2…
Thank god you put 2ML behavior as it is. It was worse because this guy was supposed to be a friend of FL.
Cdramas make me feel uncomfortable in how they portray FL. In each and every drama, FL gets grabbed by men near to her. Very rarely in Cdramas have I seen a FL stand up to herself and ask these men to behave. In a subtle way, the FL behavior enables these men to become more and more creepy. Bottom line is that writers never gave the FL a chance to stand up for herself and draw a line when it has been happening for a long time.
Have been to few countries but have not seen this kind of culture where men can grab (it's molestation because these dudes have feeling for the girl) girls as and when they please as they show in Cdramas.
Men or Women, consent forms a very important aspect of ones life. Only mother/father, brother/sister & partners have implicit consent developed through trust and intimacy. Friends don't have that implicit consent. There is not a culture in the world that allows what happens to FL in Cdramas.
Every time I see a girl getting grabbed in Cdramas, it makes me sad that the girl does not hit the dude in their testicles.
This is the first drama where I feel so much for the SML, yea what he did was not right but all he wanted was…
It was opposite for me.
2ML was an out and out creep who had zero respect for the FL. He turned her into a retarded monkey who did not realize how much of a creep he was & let him take advantage of her for much part of the series.
The one I felt truly sorry was for the 2FL. She loved the ML far longer & in any context is a much better fit for the ML than the FL. She never crossed boundaries and pursued him. When she realized she lost, she did not become bitter or hateful. And the way she was shown, she was way better than FL in each and every sense. Wished she had her own closure in the drama by finding someone nice.
Few episodes in, this drama surprised me in a good way.
loving both the FL and ML characters. Supporting characters are great as well.
You can see FL development happening as episodes go by. The people surrounding the FL don't enable her wrongs or rants, instead tell her the brutal truth so that she can become better at what she is doing.
Let us all give a round of applause for the SML actor and his portrayal of a despicable human being…you know…
Being honest here, last 10 episodes, I enjoyed watching SML character than the ML + FL. He basically stole the show. Everything revolved around him & the actor did a great job portraying such a creepy character.
With such an interesting villainous character on screen, ML & FL needed to be more interesting, unfortunately their characters were one dimensional and boring.
Who is this 3ML character ?? his love story is sad to?? he love FL also? and how many guys like FL?? thanks
3ML is the friend FL makes at college. He falls for the FL's maid. There is no closure to his story. The guy is sweet through out though and has nice progression, perhaps the best progression of anyone in the drama.
Looks like all the men in the drama are in love with the FL.
Can't believe missed this until now.
Wow at the actress playing FL lead.
She really brought out the nerdy + naive + cute +strong girl out perfectly.
SFL does push a bit but when I say crossing a boundary, I meant the molestation that SML does to FL repeatedly or the actual physical and emotional hurt that SML piled on FL.

only 4 handsome men after the FL.
Really disappointed by this small number. Add a few more.

Korean do Romance and family drama's much better than Chinese. The characters are much more rooted to reality. The girls in Korean dramas come across more intelligent and strong when compared to Cdramas.
The only thing FL does to get ML is a big nothing.
This was one drama where ML should have ended up with another girl.
FL did not deserve the guy even a bit. Yeah, writers are to blame for this mess.
Watched until ep 6, have to say watching FL is a hoot. She basically has the ML number and is making him dance to her tunes - in a good way.
There were so many things that were disturbing about the FL towards the end of the drama.
Worse, she does not even say sorry for the crap she pulled & they just get back together.

So, I need to apologize to retarded monkeys.
